Cotton —The Cotton market has continued quiet and uniform for some time past, with a steady fair inquiry, both for exportation and home use. * The recent unfavorable advices fiom abroad, have had no visible effect here, principally owing to the low pi ices now prevalent, and the absence of all specu lative demand.

PEDIGREE. J. R. If. Acklin, Esq. of Huntsville, Alabama, certifies as follows : —‘ Tom Tunstali was foaled mine on the 29th May, 1831. His dam was High land Mary .and her dam a full-blooded Archie mare; the sire of Highland Mary was old Pacolef. Tom Tunstali was sired by o'd Pacific, and lie by old Sir Archie. This is as far as lam able to go, tho’ I am satisfied Tom Tunstali has descended from as gcod a stock as any horse in the United States. — He was a race herse of the first order, but I tear will never be able to make a first rate race again, owing to his leg ; it was injured when a three yeai old, in training, as 1 believe. By addressing Har py Ckyer, Gallatin, Tennessee,you ran g:t a full pedigree of the dam of Tom Tunstali.” The same Mr. Hardy Cryer cor tines thus : —•“Highland Maiy combined as many or more rich crosses of thorough breds than any maic ever raised in Tennessee.— She was got by tiic noted horse Pacolet, the son of imported Citizen -, her dam Rosey Carey by Sir Archie; grand-dam Sally Jones by the imported horse Traveller, called Big Ben or Charlemaine, (son of O’Kcllcy’s Eclipse, and one of the purest importations of the last century-,) great grand-dam by the imported horse Wrangler;greal-gicat-grand dam OTossum by imported Shark; gveat-great great-grand-dam by the celebrated American quar ter race horse, Goode’s old Twigg; great-great great-great-grand-dam by imported Feamaught; great-gveat-groat-great-great-grand-dam by Leo’s old Mark Anthony out of a mare by imported Nlou key.” On the sire’s side it is deemed unnecessary to trace beyond Sir Archie.
